The picture of the hole in the firewall is for the rubber hose and spout for washer fluid for the windshield. the metal spout goes screwed to the firewall and comes up the vents.

Pieces left over from removal of the cowl to hood lacing/gasket. The metal clips that are imbedded in the rubber gasket. The gasket often gets ripped loose and the clips stay behind.

The thing that goes in the door is the temp sensor for then spark retard system which was probably disconnected long ago... mine was. There is a filmstrip in the Ford Literature section of this website. It explains it all.

Greetings from California. That was a great truck, sad to see that accident mess it up. Good for you that you are putting it right. Where do you get parts? Here another frame would be easy to get, and pretty cheap at my local Pick A Part, but I'm guessing that in your neck of the woods they are few and far between. Were these trucks sold new in Holland? Or are they imported now?
